Coroico

 
Overview

Travel up out of La Paz toward La Cumbre (4859 metres) and then the descent begins. Nowadays, this is via a newly paved route, although if you are feeling brave we can see if it is possible to take you down what has been termed ‘The World’s Most Dangerous Road’.



Either way it is in reality a thrillingly panoramic trip that sees you descend from jagged mountain tops and iced streams to lush subtropical jungle complete with tropical birds and plants. Your destination is the sleepy little town of Coroico, which nestles amid the orange and banana groves and coffee plantations. The day here is free to explore the sleepy streets or similar recover after the thrilling drive!
